It is getting harder for me to watch the American Chopper TV series. First, there are other options on Monday night, especially with the NFL back. Second, the whole Sr/Jr thing has just worn me down to the point it’s not as good as it used to be. So, I watch but I am not really a fan.

That said, here is a little video about the Gears of War trike. I do really like this build because it looks so unfucking real. I was getting tired of OCC’s “theme bikes”, they all began to look so much alike and I tend to like custom choppers that are street driveable. Which makes many of the bikes from the Discovery Channel’s Biker Build-Off series much better to me.

But this post is about the trike, so let’s get back to it.

The trike was unveiled at the 2011 Comic-Con convention. check this out as Paulie, Jr. drives it in past the crowd. The bike/trike is unfucking-believable! Check the reactions of the crowd.

Here is the trike and Paulie walking thru the details. I love the rims and tires and the crash bars on each side.

Paul says “This bike is massive”, and so it is. This clip has a few segments of the prior one but stands on its own.

American Chopper Aftershow: If you haven’t seen them yet there are Aftershow segments posted on the Discovery Channel website with the staff discussing events on the show (and sometimes things we don’t see on the show) and answering questions from the fans. Check the Aftershow out here.

The car was developed based on the Pacific coastline. The lines of the Ciel certainly flow and I can see the idea of the winding Caali coast as the car flows from front to rear.

Check the interior. Hot hot hot!!!

Hand stitched leather, Itgalian Olive wood, and nickel plated trim.

I think Cadillac has another winner here. Since the new generation of the CTS was introduced, then the V version and now the CTS V-Wagon (what a hidden beast that thing is) Caddy is back on top of the American luxury heap and challenging the Germans.

I love my CTS but give me a Ciel today and I’ll be cruising the coast from Santa Barbara to Marin. Beautiful.

I drive a CTS. I love it. Looks good, fast and powerful, luxury everywhere and it’s a caddy. It’s a fine car, but when I heard station wagon?? It was just a big huh?? Now I want one. I want to take some kid to school and slam his head back against the headrest. Sit still sucka!! Quit ya whining.

Aside from Daddy’s constant bad mouthing of his son which confuses the hell out of me…….

Both were nice bikes just one of them was way way nicer.

Update late August:

But why would a father be so insane as to not only bad mouth his own son on national television, but to misrepresent what he says and does. Such as, he fired Paul Jr. Everyone heard him and we saw it on TV and in reruns. Then Paul Sr starts saying ON TV that Jr quit. WTF dude?? And saying that Paul Jr will build the Cadillac bike “out of his ass”. Well if the winning bike was built out of Jr’s ass, where was OCC‘s bike built. Someone on Facebook posted that the vote was 95% Jr to 5% Sr, but last I saw it was like 2-1.

Enough of that, because I kind of like Sr although he tires me greatly. That bi-polar shit gets old fast. I’m just glad he is not my father. But Paul Sr got pwned by Paul Jr and this guy says Discovery Channel shut the vote down to save embarrassment of their ‘star’ on the American Chopper series. he says the vote was 96% Paul Jr when they shut the voting down and I do know the Discovery Channel has NEVER issued the results of the voting. I dunno…

Tonight on American Chopper they finally let the cat out of the bag on the Cadillac bike builds.

It seems like we were bidding on which bike we thought should win at least a year ago.

Tonight Mikey brought his Apple laptop into PJD, brought up the Discovery Channel website and announced the winner of the public vote on which Caddillac bike won…..Sr or Jr (??)

Without any drama, the PJD (Jr’s) bike was the winner.

The vote was something like 244,000 to 9,000.

No, I’m serious. No joke. That was the final vote rounded down a bit.

So now I know why Discovery took the whole thing off their site and OCC (Sr) hasn’t said a word about it for months.

It is really kind of humiliating. I mean, Jr’s bike was the best but that kind of ass whooping really has more to do with how the public is viewing Sr and his behavior toward Jr and Mikey especially the whole firing shit.

Today the Discovery Channel website put the vote & bid page backup including their final vote results, a little higher than the numbers Mikey shared on the show.

Anyway, congratulations @whereispauljr & PJD folks, and nice build OCC staff. It was a nice bike. They were both nice bikes and I am glad to see that a good sum of money was raised for Cure Duchenne
